This was fun and a lot of work, I spend the whole day (Friday 09 October 2020from 9Am till midnight) and it was a nice chance to try some new sounds I’ve got from a friend (mostly N.I. Kontakt synths and libraries)
I wrote one phrase and played it with a random sound on Massive X (first 30 seconds)
I wrote a new phrase that includes 2 beats from the first and played it a patch on Reaktor 6 (30sec to 56sec)
I Played a third phrase using 2 measures from each of the previous, played on a zither (from 0:56 to 01:23)
All accompanied by several pizzicato upright basses I recorded as an overdub.
Then I played three consecutive variations and superposition of the 3 phrases, added a hi pitched tremolo zither and treated string samples from an Albion library.
Added some touches of acoustic Martin guitar.
You’ll hear a string loop both normal and in reverse throughout and some tape/delay loops form the same tracks.
Hope the result is confusing and intoxicating as intended.
